    New Fantasy: Destiny of a Warrior by Mary Morgan @m_morganauthor #RLFblog #NewRelease #FantasyRomanceMary Morgan, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.

    Destiny of a Warrior by Mary Morgan

    Genre Fantasy Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    “You met him in the Order of the Dragon Knights. Now, journey to the realm of the Fae and witness their greatest legend!”
    As leader of the Fenian Warriors, Aidan Kerrigan’s accolades are many and his loyalty to the Fae unwavering. When an unexpected mission sends him to the human world and a chance encounter with Rose MacLaren, he’s tempted for the first time in his existence to discard duty and claim what is forbidden.
    Rose MacLaren, a Society of the Thistle member, yearns to expand her botanical knowledge with her love of history. After her rescue by a handsome stranger, she is compelled to look beyond what her rational mind comprehends and unravel the secret of the standing stones, as well as the man who captivates her.
    In a mystical world ruled by ancient laws and edicts, can a fierce warrior choose a path destined for love? And will a woman honoring the ways of the land believe in a myth only spoken of in legends? If they do, will their love be enough to defy death’s punishment?
    Why did you write this book?
    The great Aidan Kerrigan was a tale I feared to write. When he first appeared in the story, Dragon Knight’s Medallion, Order of the Dragon Knights, Book 2, I panicked. I did not know he was a Fenian Warrior until he walked through the crowd of people at the airport to greet his daughter, Aileen. His presence loomed mighty and grew with the previous stories in the Legends of the Fenian Warriors. Regardless, I knew then that his and Rose’s love story had to be told.
    With each Fenian Warrior’s story, I shared a layer about this Fae. Little did I know when I penned his first line of dialogue that he was the leader of the Fenian Warriors, came from royalty, and his sister was Queen of the Fae realm.
    He chose not to reveal any of this to me. And this is why I became terrified. What more could he share? Well, dear readers, Aidan made it simple. He told me to write a love story, stating, “For you see, love is greater than all the power attained in the world—be it human or Fae.”
    Therefore, I took you back in time to when he was the leader of the Brotherhood—Fenian Warriors. To when this great warrior had no blemish to stain his life and love tossed his world upside down.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Historical fiction and non-fiction novels.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Jamie Fraser from Outlander.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    A new paranormal historical series set in medieval Scotland and the Orkney Islands.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    A medieval holiday romance. I’m returning to the Dragon Knights of Scotland (my first series) and Urquhart Castle.

    Quest of a Warrior by Mary Morgan @m_morganauthor #RLFblog #Paranormal #Romance

    Quest of a Warrior by Mary Morgan @m_morganauthor #RLFblog #Paranormal #RomanceMary Morgan, author of Quest of a Warrior, answers five easy questions.
    Please tell us about yourself.
    Award-winning Scottish paranormal romance author, Mary Morgan, resides in Northern California, with her own knight in shining armor. However, during her travels to Scotland, England, and Ireland, she left a part of her soul in one of these countries and vows to return.
    Mary’s passion for books started at an early age along with an overactive imagination. She spent far too much time daydreaming and was told quite often to remove her head from the clouds. It wasn’t until the closure of Borders Books where Mary worked that she found her true calling–writing romance. Now, the worlds she created in her mind are coming to life within her stories.
    What is your go-to meal when you dine out?
    I love going to pubs, so it’s usually fish and chips or hamburger, a big salad and a Guinness.
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    Spending time anywhere in Scotland or Ireland. I was fortunate to visit the Orkney Islands, north of Scotland in June. I wandered through ancient ruins, stood on cliffs near the ocean, and soaked in the mystique of the land. Pure bliss! I’m longing to return.
    When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?
    I read in all genres, in particular, historical fiction and non-fiction. I’m fascinated with history. I blame it on James Michener. When I read “Hawaii” at seventeen, I became hooked on historical books. Currently, I’m reading “Victoria” by Daisy Goodwin.
    What kinds of things do you read when you’re researching a new book?
    Everything—from historical books, travel magazines, world maps, and articles on the internet. Since my stories are based in Scotland and Ireland, I’m constantly searching out new and fascinating tidbits of knowledge. In addition, I’m a lover of Celtic mythology, so I enjoy reading about the legendary tales from these countries.
    If the hero of your latest book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    The Celts by Enya
    Please tell us about your latest book.
